New Scandia Township
Comprehensive Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation Plan 4-31
Adopted 18 July 2006
Length: 6 ½ +/- Miles
Route:
This trail intersects the east-west
Washington Greenway. It extends north-
south through New Scandia Township from
Chisago County to County Road 4 south of
the township.
Olinda Trail North
Described as off-road trail connection as
part of Washington County Linear Park
System Plan
Status:
Listed as intention to complete by 1995 in Washington County Linear Park System Plan.
See “Issues” below.
Issues: An off-road trail along this corridor was defeated in its first referendum. Feasibility for this
trail connection, even as an on-road bicycle route or lane, should be reevaluated as conditions and/or
circumstances evolve.
Opportunities: If realized, this proposed trail offers a direct connection to the proposed Swedish
Immigrant Trail and the communities of Lindstrom and Chisago City. There is merit to review this
opportunity again with a campaign to increase public awareness of the potential trail benefits in this
corridor.
